Gary Payton II Will Start On Thursday

Golden State Warriors guard Gary Payton II (leg) will remain in the starting five for Thursday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He was listed as a game-time decision coming into this contest, but it sounds like Payton is fine. Fantasy managers should expect Payton to have his normal role in the rotation. Otto Porter […]

Ja Morant Exits Early On Thursday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (hamstring) was forced to exit early during Thursday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He appears to have suffered a hamstring issue and is being stretched out on the bench. It's uncertain if he'll return to action, but the Grizzlies are likely to take the cautious approach here. Tyus Jones and […]

Richaun Holmes Will Sit Out On Thursday

Sacramento Kings center Richaun Holmes (back) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Holmes has lost a ton of value with Domantas Sabonis joining the Kings roster.

Joshua Primo Listed As Questionable For Friday

San Antonio Spurs guard Joshua Primo (wrist) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Washington Wizards. Primo is one of the many young guards on this roster that should have increased opportunities in the second half.

New York Knicks guard Derrick Rose (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game against the Miami Heat. Rose was able to practice on Thursday, so it sounds like the veteran guard is getting closer to a return. Despite that, it sounds like Rose is set to miss at least one more game. Alec Burks […]

RJ Barrett Uncertain For Friday

New York Knicks forward RJ Barrett (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Miami Heat. Head coach Tom Thibodeau mentioned last week that Barrett is expected to return after the All-Star break. The return of Barrett would mean Quentin Grimes heads back to the second unit. Grimes has been playing well recently, […]

Klay Thompson Remains Restricted On Thursday

Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson will remain on a minutes limit for Thursday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Thompson is coming off multiple significant injuries, so it's not surprising to see the Warriors being cautious with him. Heading into the All-Star break, Thompson was restricted to 30 minutes per game. That will remain […]

Gary Payton II Questionable For Thursday

Golden State Warriors guard Gary Payton II (leg) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. This sounds like a downgrade as Payton has experienced some discomfort in his shin. Fantasy managers should consider Payton a legitimate game-time decision for Thursday's game. Either Otto Porter Jr. and Jordan Poole should move […]

Isaiah Jackson, Goga Bitadze Probable For Friday

Indiana Pacers centers Isaiah Jackson (ankle) and Goga Bitadze (foot) are listed as probable for Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Jackson has appeared in one game this month, but he was a fantasy asset when healthy. He should have no shortage of minutes, assuming he can stay healthy. Fantasy managers should check the […]

Drew Eubanks Joins Starting Five On Thursday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Drew Eubanks will move into the starting five for Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Jusuf Nurkic (foot) is expected to miss at least a month of action, so Eubanks is likely to see more starts coming his way. Despite that, Eubanks isn't a must-have fantasy player, but will see […]

Goran Dragic Unlikely To Play Saturday

Brooklyn Nets guard Goran Dragic is unlikely to suit up for Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks, according to head coach Steve Nash. He has already been ruled out for Thursday's game, and it doesn't appear he'll make his team debut on Saturday. The veteran guard was traded to the San Antonio Spurs at the […]

Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon (Achilles) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Chris Duarte Tagged As Questionable For Friday

Indiana Pacers guard Chris Duarte (toe) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He missed the final two games before the All-Star break due to left big toe soreness. When he returns, Duarte could struggle to find consistent playing time in Indiana. The addition of Tyrese Haliburton and Buddy Hield […]

Brook Lopez Able To Practice On Thursday

Milwaukee Bucks center Brook Lopez (back) was able to take part in Thursday's practice. However, Lopez remains "a ways" off from a return to the court, according to head coach Mike Budenholzer.

Rudy Gay Sits During Thursday's Practice

Utah Jazz forward Rudy Gay (illness) wasn't able to participate during Thursday's practice. Before the All-Star break, Gay was battling knee soreness.

Kristaps Porzingis Remains Day-To-Day

Washington Wizards center Kristaps Porzingis (knee) appears to be making progress, but remains listed as day-to-day. Head coach Wes Unseld Jr. mentioned that Porzingis was able to do more during Thursday's practice. Although, Porzingis hasn't done 3-on-3 drills and it doesn't sound like he'll play in Friday's game. The All-Star center has seemingly been banged […]

Lou Williams Uncertain For Thursday

Atlanta Hawks guard Lou Williams (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Chicago Bulls. The veteran guard has been dealing with lingering hamstring issues. Honestly, the Hawks might decide to rest Williams out of precaution. He has only been playing minutes in the teens, so it won't be a huge blow to […]

Caris LeVert Could Miss Two Weeks

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Caris LeVert (foot) is expected to miss at least a week or two of action. This is a tough blow to the Cavs who are already without Darius Garland (back) for Thursday's game. Hopefully. Garland can return in time for their next matchup, which will somewhat ease the loss of LeVert. In […]

Davion Mitchell Available On Thursday

Sacramento Kings guard Davion Mitchell (hand) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He missed one game prior to the All-Star break due to right hand soreness. However, it sounds like both Mitchell and Jeremy Lamb (ankle) will be ready to go on Thursday. Mitchell should get […]

Derrick Rose Continues To Make Progress

New York Knicks guard Derrick Rose (ankle) was able to practice without any issues on Thursday. In fact, this was the second time that Rose was able to practice with contact.

Zach LaVine To Play On Thursday

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (knee) has been removed from the injury report and will play Thursday against the Atlanta Hawks. He recently received a PRP injection and a cortisone shot, which should help his lingering knee issue. LaVine took part in Sunday's All-Star game, so he shouldn't be limited at all on Thursday. The […]

John Collins Doubtful Against Bulls

Atlanta Hawks forward John Collins (foot) is listed as doubtful for Thursday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He missed the final three games before the All-Star break due to a foot sprain.

Caris LeVert Won't Play Thursday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Caris LeVert (ankle) won't be available for Thursday's game against the Detroit Pistons. He seemed fine going into the All-Star break, so hopefully this isn't anything serious. Both LeVert and Darius Garland (back) will be sidelined for Thursday's game. Brandon Goodwin, Isaac Okoro, and Rajon Rondo should all benefit without these two […]

Lauri Markkanen Listed As Probable For Thursday

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Lauri Markkanen (ankle) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Detroit Pistons. He has missed each of the last 11 games due to a right ankle sprain. However, it sounds like Markkanen has been making good progress and is ready to return. He was a top-75 player before going down, […]

Cameron Payne Ruled Out For Thursday

Phoenix Suns guard Cameron Payne (wrist) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The backup point guard was recently listed as day-to-day, but it doesn't sound like he's ready to play yet.

Indiana Pacers guard Chris Duarte (toe) was unable to get through Wednesday's practice, according to head coach Rick Carlisle.

Both Terry Taylor and Buddy Hield […]

Isaiah Jackson Practices On Wednesday

Indiana Pacers center Isaiah Jackson (ankle) was able to get through Wednesday's practice, according to head coach Rick Carlisle. Jackson played in one of the final eight games before the All-Star break. However, Jackson has plenty of upside with Myles Turner (foot) remaining sidelined. Jackson was playing well enough to roster in most formats, but […]

Myles Turner Not Close To A Return

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (foot) doesn't appear to be close to returning to the court. In fact, head coach Rick Carlisle mentioned Turner is still a few weeks away from returning.
